NHS screening - national clinics

Many of the national screening programmes such as breast screening take place outside the practice, we fully support these national programmes and would encourage all our patients to take up these opportunities when you are invited.

There are links to easy reading support and helplines included below if you think you may have missed your screening opportunity.

As NHS choices suggest
“Screening is a way of finding out if people have a higher chance of having a health problem, so that early treatment can be offered or information given to help them make informed decisions.”
“NHS screening.” NHS choices website. Retrieved 19 July 2023.

Information and helplines for national screening
Under Screening we provide information on

  • The national screening programme including breast screening, bowel screening, and much more.
  • Who to contact if you think you have missed your screening opportunity.
